Virginia Voting rights restoration after incarceration

On the November 3, 2026 ballot. Ask the guide what a yes vote and a no vote would each do, in the official wording.

The question on the ballot

Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended (i) to provide for the fundamental right to vote in the Commonwealth, (ii) to revise the qualifications of voters so that a person convicted of a felony is not entitled to vote during his period of incarceration but is automatically invested with the right to vote upon release from incarceration, and (iii) to update the existing prohibition on voting by persons found to be mentally incompetent to instead apply to persons who have been found to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting?

Where, when and how to vote

The guide doesn't answer these. The current, official answers are with Virginia Department of Elections.
